Resistor Ladder

The Resistor Ladder is a digital potentiometer with the

B Terminal internally grounded and the A Terminal

connected to the selected reference voltage (see

Figure 5-2). The volatile DAC register controls the

wiper position. The wiper voltage (VW) is proportional to

the DAC register value divided by the number of resis-

tor elements (RS) in the ladder (256, 1024 or 4096)

related to the VRL voltage.

The output of the resistor network will drive the input of

an output buffer.

The Resistor Network is made up of these three parts:

• Resistor Ladder (string of RS elements)

• Wiper switches

• DAC register decode

The resistor ladder (RRL) has a typical impedance of

approximately 140 k

. This resistor ladder resistance

(RRL) may vary from device to device up to ±20%.

Since this is a voltage divider configuration, the actual

RRL resistance does not affect the output given a fixed

voltage at VRL.

Equation 5-1 shows the calculation for the step

resistance.

If the unbuffered VREF pin is used as the VRL voltage

source, this voltage source should have a low output

impedance.

When the DAC is powered-down, the resistor ladder is

disconnected from the selected reference voltage.

EQUATION 5-1:

RS CALCULATION

Note:

The maximum wiper position is 2n –1,

while the number of resistors in the

resistor ladder is 2n. This means that

when the DAC register is at full scale,

there is one resistor element (RS)

between the wiper and the VRL voltage.
